Jupiter's gravity, often called the "architect" of our solar system, played a critical role in shaping the orbital paths of other planets and sculpting the disk of gas and dust from which they formed.

3D rendering of a rapidly spinning black hole’s accretion disk and a resulting black hole-powered jet. Credit: Ore Gottlieb et al. (2024) There were a few theories surrounding black holes and their ...

Thanks to what’s known as the Blandford–Znajek mechanism, a spinning black hole wreathed by a strongly magnetized accretion disk can drag along the magnetic field lines threaded into it.
